Voltage regulator

[RYANS']

Hi StarTech,

Over the years, I think many manufacturers have come up with these "creative" niche jumper harnesses just to trip people up and make a fast buck.

I Have wire and butt connectors at the ready. I can be quite creative when it comes to saving a customer $50.00 dollars for 10 minutes of simple work.

Haha, the Man, thanks Auto Doc.

Amazing knowledge, thankyou kindly. Yes I was complaining about the interconnect harness. Stay on.

Hi Ryans'

Don't beat around the bush instead and create confusion. Come out and say it is the interconnect harness segment you need.

The regulators are pretty common.

the manufacturer buys VR A from a company that makes VRs. They buy the alternator windings B from someone else. People in a factory assemble the parts onto an engine. The engineer looks at the pieces which have different connectors and decides it costs less to use a custom made jumper adapter along with lower cost VR A than to make a new custom VR. 15,000 jumpers are made and they are used to put part A together with part B. Next year the world changes again because someone comes out with a VR that costs a lot less than VR A but has different connectors to get around patents. Engineer orders a new connector to put this new VR C together with alternator B. Making matters worse, the VRs are potted so one cannot replace a simple blown diode. Now comes a DIY who wants to fix the parts using the NLA part after a mouse chews the wires and shorts out the VR A, People come along and make the NLA parts but they make 250 of them instead of 15,000, and it is 8 years later so the cost is higher. DIY complains the cost is too high.

Don't ever restore a car, airplane or boat and one will see what expensive is. Alternatively, they could get in their car and drive to the nearest mower bone yard, go thru old mowers until they find a used harness that works. Cost $5. Cost in time and gas $350. Cost to bitch and blame someone else $0.00.

Exactly right. Cheers.

Yes

Looks like the standard 5/9 Briggs voltage regulator used on single cylinder Intek from 10-21 hp engines.

Thankyou

This might help you identify the regulator you are looking for. https://www.briggsandstratton.com/c...a/en_us/Files/FAQs/alternator_replacement.pdf

Wow, the information is all there. Alright.

Found. Part 790544, adaptor wire harness.
